Prefectural high school test taker with new virus infection Considering exemption from writing test February 19, Hokkaido, 11:19
As reports of the new coronavirus infection continue, the Hokkaido Board of Education is considering special measures to exempt students who take the entrance examination at a prefectural high school on April 4 from the written test. I learned from interviews with the people involved.
With regard to the new coronavirus, cases of infection have been confirmed in Hokkaido, and the season for the examination has started.
In response to this, the Hokkaido Board of Education is considering special measures to exempt the students who take the entrance examination for prefectural high school on April 4 from the written exam if they are infected with the new coronavirus. I found out in the interview.
For these candidates, the junior high school is making adjustments to determine whether or not to pass the exam based on an application form and an interview.
Even if no infection has been confirmed, students and parents are worried that they can take the test at the stage of suspected infection, such as continued fever, so the Hokkaido Board of Education takes the test in a separate room. We are considering whether we can not take measures such as doing.
The Hokkaido Board of Education has decided to make a formal decision later this week after further coordination with stakeholders.
